Praise as a means to increase job satisfaction.
Employees who receive praise for their work develop pride in themselves and their performance. Positive reinforcement techniques are easy to learn and are rewarding for both supervisor and employee. Today's employees want and expect guidance and feedback about their performance. Acknowledging desired behavior may even eliminate corrective counselling sessions. It is essential to the success of service industries such as health care to have front line people who project confident, caring attitudes and provide superior service.
